Supreme Court to decide prison garb and presumption of innocence
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Texas appeal on whether wearing prison clothes before a jury violates a defendant’s presumption of innocence. The case could lead to retrials for hundreds of inmates tried in prison attire, with oral arguments set and a written ruling to follow. The dispute cites a 1967 circuit ruling describing prison garb as inherently unfair. The plaintiff Harry Lee Williams received a 10 year sentence for assault with intent to murder.
